| - This is a fairly new Cafe Rio, located on Lake Mead and Buffalo in a small shopping center behind Mickey Dee's. I love the fresh made tortillas here and believe it or not the salads are my go-to item. They are massive and extremely filling. They line the bottom with a tortilla, and then add meat and your choice of toppings. I usually always choose the pork barbacoa which is sweet shredded pork and it is so delicious, I just cant bring myself to order anything different. The dressings for the salad are creamy cilantro and vinaigrette which are both tasty, but I prefer the cilantro which is perfect for dipping leftover tortilla into.
Other items include burritos, nachos, tacos and enchiladas. The burritos can be made enchilada style where they douse the burrito in sauce and cheese then run it through the oven. The red enchilada sauce is really tasty, and I usually get it on the side to dip chips into. Speaking of chips, they give you a brown paper bag FULL of them when you order chips and salsa or queso. The queso tasted like melted American cheese and I didnt like it, so I threw most of it away. Not worth its almost $5 price tag.
My last visit I tried the pork enchiladas with rice and pinto bean and I was not too impressed. The enchiladas were pretty skimp on the meat, although there was plenty of sauce and cheese, and the rice and beans had no flavor. I wouldn't order this again and would stick with either a burrito or salad.
